Ink on paper sketch. The US flag is being ripped apart by ICE, MAGA, others. Behind the flag, Trump & others point across the divided flag. On the other side of the flag are various politicians & representations “others” to the right (immigrants, college graduates, unions, centrist media, etc). Below the flag two children with a needle and thread commenting on being responsible for stitching the flag back together.

Sketching out an idea for a future panting. Lots to fix/add in the final but this gets to the gist of it.

Photo of a page in Jeff VanderMeer’s latest book, Absolution. The passage highlighted conveys the idea that when times are uncertain, we can second-guess ourselves out of taking needed action.

This passage in Jeff VanderMeer’s Absolution strikes me as how reading the news across various media and sources right now feels: “Am I reacting too much or not nearly enough?” 📚💙 #booksky #artreflectslife #lifeimitatesart

Found myself doodling today (have been loving alcoholmarkers lately) and this came out. #accidentalart -#runrabbitrun #currentfeels #artreflectslife

"Digital artwork of two anthropomorphic sushi rolls. One asks, 'How bad is it?' while the other responds, 'It's 2020 bad,' with a distressed expression. A small blob of wasabi sits on the ground, adding to the scene's comedic and dramatic tone."

Still feels relevant today... 🥴
